Most people are about as happy as they make up their mind to be.
It is not what happens to us in life that determines our happiness so much as the way we react to what happens.
Blah blah might on having lost his job, decide that he now has the opportunity to have a new work experience, to explore new possibilities & to exercise his independence in the workplace.
His brother Lala might under the same circumstances, decide to jump off a twenty storey building & end it all.
Given the same situation, one man rejoices while the other man commits suicide. One man sees disaster & the other man sees opportunity.
Being happy is not always easy, though. It can be one of the greatest challenges that we face & can sometimes take all the determination, persistence & self-discipline that we can muster.
Maturity means taking responsibility for our own happiness & choosing to concerntrate on what we got rather than on what we haven't.
